Legal Notice
NOTEDWhat changed, in plain language
Nothing changed in the actual terms. The only difference is two scrambled email links, which Cloudflare re-scrambles automatically to hide addresses from spam bots. The policy text and the "Updated: 19 February 2026" date are identical.
This change appears to be cosmetic (formatting, typos, or contact details).
Changelog
- ± CHANGEDSpam-protection codes on the contact email links were refreshed
The website hides its email addresses behind scrambled codes so spam bots can't harvest them. Those codes were regenerated for the accessibility contact link and the queries contact link. The email addresses themselves and everything around them are unchanged.
